Artistic license. It's his song, he can sing it how he pleases. I personally love it when artists do that kinda thing. It shows they have a passion for their work and aren't just going by the book.
Great line. To me, it represents the ultimate isolation of the self. No matter how intimate we become, there is always something we keep or understand only to ourselves, and no one else could understand what it means to inhabit a body other than their own.
If your amazed at the life like weeds lyrics in this song I would bet you've never seen them live, he throws in lyrics from different songs quite often. I don't know what word to use to describe their live shows but it would be a big one I learned when I was in college
anyone know where the Cowboy Dan outdo stems from I've always been curious. I mean the long live improv version he seems to have stuck with mostly between 96 and now. Also does anyone else prefer the b side of ocean breathes Its so raw. I guess it doesn't matter but we're all junkies here.
I could listen to this song on repeat for weeks. What a masterpiece. The look at 4:05-4:11... you can tell this song has such a deep meaning to him, looks like he is holding back tears. I'm actually glad the crowd was so weak because you can hear them rip it for 7+ mins with no screams to interrupt.
I love how they blend these lines from Life Like Weeds. My favorite lines ever and Dramamine is my favorite song. So amazing. Get goosebumps every time I hear this
I get a really sad depressed feeling when I hear this song, but I love it anyways. Very well written, makes me feel emotional so you know it's true music right here
He doesn’t even look “”present”” at 4:16 , it’s like he slips into a whole different world, perhaps diving deep into whatever the inspiration for Dramamine is. I love it ❤
I did...it was in Seattle at the showbox I think.. 2003? But uhh a big ol security guard grabbed my dress and pulled me down I got my feelings hurt 😩 😆 but yeah they were so intense they just don't notice a thing but their instruments
Crazy how much emotion is behind those eyes. This is what I miss about artist these days. No one will show emotion. That music will die off, and music like modest mouse will live on forever.
God damn I love this song, I always associate it with nostalgic old good times. Chilling in the basement in high school with good friends and good tunes.
I listened to this song for like three hours after my puppy died. Now it's forever associated with that dark time but I still like to relive it to remember her and feel sad. Modest Mouse can hit hard sometimes
I have seen them in concert 4 times now. You should most definitely put them on your bucket list. They are truly amazing to see live. Issac Brock ❤ your awesome 😊
Play over and over again at the gym on the train walking to work from work at home and tomorrow I get to see them perform live for the first time in my entire life I got floor tickets I’m hoping to hear this song Dramamine & Life like weeds 🤍 🎸 love you Modest Mouse! You have no idea how much your music relates to my being 🎶
8 years after seeing this video for the first time and I still can't forgive the crowd for not letting those harmonic bends at the end ring out in silence. What I'd give for the soundboard audio of this performance.
i must have been here before because I liked ur comment and it took a like away.... so i liked it again... that's 3 likes from me. I think that thought every time I try to talk about them to someone else.
Rest In Peace Tommy. My best friend that loved this band more than anything in the world and the one who showed me them back in high school. I will forever be grateful I was introduced to Modest Mouse.
Dawgtha idk his pupils seem normal might be high and if he is it'll be on some good old weed I read he stopped getting fucked up during his concerts a long time ago and recently read that he unwinds at the end of the day with some pot
I dont know man, I think I would just sit down, close my eyes and listen if I would be there, but then again I'm probably not the target audience of a concert.
Day 3,561: I've become obsessed, I can't get modest mouse lyrics out of my mind. School work and work have become a struggle, but Issack Brock's soft words has lit my world with new horizons. My brain has expanded philosophically, and I think I'm beginning to understand his ways...may senpai take me. "My thoughts were so loud, I couldn't hear my mouth." -Issack Brock
I've seen them 10 times going back to 2000. When I saw them with this 6-person lineup in '09 it was as good, if not better, than any MM show I've seen. It was the perfect mix of songs from all of their albums and the band was incredible. They haven't toured with a 3-person band since 1998...
i dont think that they have enough security to tell a festival crowd to not be loud, but i like to think that they have so much respect for the music that they just shut up and save it all to the end and then unleash when they're done playing.
And the award for the worst crowd goes to.... Vlieland, Netherlands, for their role in the "Into The Great Wide Open Festival!" Naturally, there was no acceptance speech. They just stayed in their seats.
Hi Myrtyme. I was just making a silly joke. Didn't mean offense :) Each culture is different and I understand that. Cheers. Holland is a wonderful country though. Hoping to visit there someday.
I'm the founder of "The Modest Mouse Wiki", started July 8th (for Isaac's birthday), and while I was writing the bio of Isaac Brock, I came Across this and decided to make it his official video. Also, not to spam or anything, but everyone's welcome to contribute at "The Modest Mouse Wiki". ("the" being in the title is strangely very important.)
From Olympia. Been listening to modest mouse since I was 14. I first heard them on “The young and the restless” on 107.7 the End in 1996. Been obsessed ever since. Isaac Brock, you are the shit.
Anytime I see a live show of Modest Mouse my heart aches. It aches because I should be there. It's something my soul yearns for. Something my brain craves. My ears feast on their vibrations. My soul moves in harmony along side their tones. THIS IS A FACT. Of course I can't make facts out of opinions... which is why I clearly stated what I know. --- Fact: I am MissingTime1 .. this is my roommates account. Peace & Love my phamily.
Love this band like no other but this is almost the first video since he was about 18 in which Isaac B looks like he could give a shit. Excellent stuff, wish there was more like ke this
Perfect song to bring down a 3 day bender. Two people’s energy feeling more like a three ring circus. RIP B-Rad. You’ll still go down in history as One of my favorite people. They’ll Never be another crazy, crass, witty, goofy, shameless, fast talkin’, Pissa of a character many couldn’t deal with...but we... always “got it”. I feel a lot less protected now that you’re gone. You left me here .... Until we meet again. \m/!!!
Agreed. Nothing wrong with watching the band when you go to a concert. Also, for musicians in the audience, it's interesting to see what the band members are playing.
R.I.P. Jeremiah Green... this and many other drum tracks will live on in our hearts forever because of you.
Artistic license. It's his song, he can sing it how he pleases. I personally love it when artists do that kinda thing. It shows they have a passion for their work and aren't just going by the book.
Yes
Even if I’m having the best day of my life, this song still makes me emotional. Such a beautiful song
"We kiss on the mouth but still cough down our sleeves." That line gets me every goddamn time.
Bobby Mulligan becuase it's intersting af to think bout that lol
Great line. To me, it represents the ultimate isolation of the self. No matter how intimate we become, there is always something we keep or understand only to ourselves, and no one else could understand what it means to inhabit a body other than their own.
Patrick McHugh I really love your take on it. That's solid shit my man!
@@patrickmchugh4616 holy shit dude, I love that
@@patrickmchugh4616 I’ve known this song backwards and forwards for 5 years, i never thought of it like that!!! I love it so much more now!!!!
Isaac's guitar is made of the finest materials and sounds amazing
Isaac is made of the finest materials and sounds amazing as well. ;)
But still looks like a shit with flies
Hewn from prehistoric whalebone or somethin
If your amazed at the life like weeds lyrics in this song I would bet you've never seen them live, he throws in lyrics from different songs quite often. I don't know what word to use to describe their live shows but it would be a big one I learned when I was in college
I see what you did there.
I don't get it...
Emo Brain Surgery leave

Emo Brain Surgery it's a lyric from bankrupt on selling
I could listen to this song on repeat for weeks. What a masterpiece.

For sure I don't get any West Coast Vibes try the swell emotion of caring isn't creepy (especially since this isn't the Shins)
I get a really sad depressed feeling when I hear this song, but I love it anyways. Very well written, makes me feel emotional so you know it's true music right here
Crowed wasn’t weak. Just captivated
He doesn’t even look “”present”” at 4:16 , it’s like he slips into a whole different world, perhaps diving deep into whatever the inspiration for Dramamine is. I love it ❤
Most people in the audience have no idea how perfect this is by Isaac and MM.
Modest Mouse making life more enjoyable since 1996
This is actually so good and no one is jamming I would be trying to climb on stage sobbing and screaming about how much I love them
I did...it was in Seattle at the showbox I think..
2003? But uhh a big ol security guard grabbed my dress and pulled me down I got my feelings hurt 😩 😆 but yeah they were so intense they just don't notice a thing but their instruments
Crazy how much emotion is behind those eyes. This is what I miss about artist these days. No one will show emotion. That music will die off, and music like modest mouse will live on forever.
Gotten so downright emotional to this song for years now. Modest mouse never can or would dissapointed me I swear
God damn I love this song, I always associate it with nostalgic old good times. Chilling in the basement in high school with good friends and good tunes.
Same here my friend. Same here
One of those bands that found their way to pop stardom and did nothing wrong to get there (as far as I know)! Love'em!
I listened to this song for like three hours after my puppy died. Now it's forever associated with that dark time but I still like to relive it to remember her and feel sad. Modest Mouse can hit hard sometimes
Modest Mouse's music fits me so perfectly that it's the only band I actually want to listen to anymore. I've yet to find another that I like so much.
Gosh, I want to see these guys live. Fantastic song. Fantastic band.
Update: i saw them live and they played this version of this song. I can die happy or something, idk.
Bello Anders lucky
I have seen them in concert 4 times now. You should most definitely put them on your bucket list. They are truly amazing to see live. Issac Brock ❤ your awesome 😊
i came here everyday just to see this musical gem
Play over and over again at the gym on the train walking to work from work at home and tomorrow I get to see them perform live for the first time in my entire life I got floor tickets I’m hoping to hear this song Dramamine & Life like weeds 🤍 🎸 love you Modest Mouse! You have no idea how much your music relates to my being 🎶
This song never gets old.
God this song fucking goes. Maybe one of the best songs ever.
2 of the greatest songs combined! Wow
Major facts.
One of the best MM songs, and Jeremiah Green is the absolute hero of this song.
💚🥁💚
8 years after seeing this video for the first time and I still can't forgive the crowd for not letting those harmonic bends at the end ring out in silence.
What I'd give for the soundboard audio of this performance.
I think I like Modest Mouse a little too much..
same here. Dramamine (live) is way better than the original
ILOVE2TV I concur
i must have been here before because I liked ur comment and it took a like away.... so i liked it again... that's 3 likes from me. I think that thought every time I try to talk about them to someone else.
also thank you for that psychedelic Cat Faces Ugly Casanova Video on your channel!
Not possible.
first modest mouse song i ever heard! I love this song so much!
Rest In Peace Tommy.
My best friend that loved this band more than anything in the world and the one who showed me them back in high school. I will forever be grateful I was introduced to Modest Mouse.
May your friend rest in peace bro I too am a Tommy who has been a mouse fan since high school. I'm 33, cheers to you, your friend and your life
Issac is doing algebra on a fretboard right now
Goddam this is music
best band ever 😵
Oh hello, I didn't expect to see you here hah 🌻🌻🌻
Yo nice username homie
Love your videos ❤ Seems like you have a great taste in music as well
Yoooo Johannaaaa how you doin
The crowd wasn’t ready
No doubt
"We kiss on the mouth but still cough down our sleeves." That line is like a knife to the heart every single time.
I'm back here in 2021.... and boy am I glad to be back!
been listening for over a year now, its so beautiful how it all comes together.
Wow what a jam, a masterpiece. I’ve loved this song for many years and have never seen or heard a live version/variation. This is amazing, I love it.
i want to bring those times back, man.
Love this groove. These guys jam in a way that speaks to me.
Wow Isaac is working that guitar 😍
Isaac really is an underrated guitarist.
No he's not
Rest in peace, Jeremiah
oh fuck. i just fell in love. when he fades dramamine into life like weeds like that. magical.
That was seriously a GREAT performance.
04:15 Isaac's staring into our souls
+Drummer Boy96 i had shivers
Dawgtha idk his pupils seem normal might be high and if he is it'll be on some good old weed I read he stopped getting fucked up during his concerts a long time ago and recently read that he unwinds at the end of the day with some pot
We had it com'n
Thank you
too bad the crowd seems so dead, it's one of the best performances of dramamine i've seen
I dont know man, I think I would just sit down, close my eyes and listen if I would be there, but then again I'm probably not the target audience of a concert.
It may be on a mixing board
4:15 when he looks right in the camera. ❤ awesome
I love this song. I get a lot of inspiration from these guys...
Who disliked this song has no depth. I'm all about everyone has there own opinion, but there is no opinion on this isaac Brock is a god
Day 3,561: I've become obsessed, I can't get modest mouse lyrics out of my mind. School work and work have become a struggle, but Issack Brock's soft words has lit my world with new horizons.

"My thoughts were so loud, I couldn't hear my mouth."
-Issack Brock
+Haku Chan I feel ya on the lyrics in your mind...and becuase of that, I listen to them ALL THE TIME!!!!
YESS! love the name btw!
I've seen them 10 times going back to 2000. When I saw them with this 6-person lineup in '09 it was as good, if not better, than any MM show I've seen. It was the perfect mix of songs from all of their albums and the band was incredible.
They haven't toured with a 3-person band since 1998...
thank you so much for these uploads!
Not sure why anyone would downvote this. Modest mouse is amazing
Best bootleg of this song by far... mixing Life Like Weeds into it is pure awesomeness. The post 5 minute jam is legendary.
Best version of Dramamine
Weak ass crowd for how intense they were getting
right?!
+Will Schneider we were told to be quiet and only clap along
+Hinata Hyuga wtf by who
+clare l by the security
i dont think that they have enough security to tell a festival crowd to not be loud, but i like to think that they have so much respect for the music that they just shut up and save it all to the end and then unleash when they're done playing.
Shreds it! Great live, great taped GREAT BAND!
always stunning!
I'm so excited! I'm seeing them live in the tenth of April!!!!!!
Yo Issac is rocking the shit out of this
well that was about perfect for one of the best bands ever! And Isaac often seems to look crazy. That is the mad genius maybe?
I love this song so much and I love any of you out there who love this song too.
Creative geniuses on film!.. What a rare sight indeed!
This band is just so good
And the award for the worst crowd goes to.... Vlieland, Netherlands, for their role in the "Into The Great Wide Open Festival!"
Naturally, there was no acceptance speech. They just stayed in their seats.
Patrick Sweeney holland isnt a very open country about this kind of music. on a small stage it will end up being quiet a freakingstupid crowd...
Hi Myrtyme. I was just making a silly joke. Didn't mean offense :) Each culture is different and I understand that. Cheers. Holland is a wonderful country though. Hoping to visit there someday.
everyone was probably stoned out of their gourds
i think i could die happy after a concert from them
best live drammamine
I love the added bit with the new lyrics!
I would’ve appreciated this so fucking much man the crowd didn’t appreciate this live performance enough .
He looks like Richard dreyfus from jaws
@JOEL LAVALLEY O
I shit myself when he started singing the last verse from Life Like Weeds. My two favorite Modest Mouse songs in one orgasmic performance.
MM is by far a live band
best song ever
@iloveKianaDexter he lives here in portland, i see him around from time to time at the triple nickel on 38th and bellmont.

one more thing though…..we kiss on the mouth but still cough down our sleeves…..still fuckin' beautiful
I will never get tired of being crazy impressed when the singer plays the sock, crazy guitar parts. Like muse and minus the bear.
Not me just now realizing that in these live versions he's saying "Our hearts and our minds, they're just made out of strings to be plucked."
@ Maxwell Searcy I like modest mouse and I listen to thrash, just because people go to shows and mosh doesn't mean it's bad music
Wow. What a performance.
What a great performance.
4:15 It's like he knows you're there...
I love that they have the guitarist from the smiths
That's not Johnny Marr. He left the band in 09
y
thanks I'm gonna go punch myself for being a poser
actually they were far better before they even started playing with the smiths' guy
your totally right. its just the idea of the two bands.
Wow beautiful guitar
ummm Modest Mouse is one of the Greatest NA bands ever
I dig the remixed live version
From Olympia. Been listening to modest mouse since I was 14. I first heard them on “The young and the restless” on 107.7 the End in 1996. Been obsessed ever since. Isaac Brock, you are the shit.
I cannot like this enough. It's a shame it only has 30 k views.
Anytime I see a live show of Modest Mouse my heart aches. It aches because I should be there. It's something my soul yearns for. Something my brain craves. My ears feast on their vibrations. My soul moves in harmony along side their tones. THIS IS A FACT. Of course I can't make facts out of opinions... which is why I clearly stated what I know. --- Fact: I am MissingTime1 .. this is my roommates account. Peace & Love my phamily.
Time spent with Mr. Marr did Issac a lot of good. His guitar playing on this is top notch, way above where he started.
I'm here because sometimes I need to remind myself why I'm still alive.
Then I bow to you, master of dance!
oh yo!! is that life like weeds they pick up on near 4:12 ????
The lyrics and tunes fit so well too. Awesome.
Love this band like no other but this is almost the first video since he was about 18 in which Isaac B looks like he could give a shit. Excellent stuff, wish there was more like ke this
Perfect song to bring down a 3 day bender. Two people’s energy feeling more like a three ring circus. RIP B-Rad. You’ll still go down in history as One of my favorite people.

The drummer is kick ass
DAMN! that’s good
i just wanna feel this live
I think I know my geography pretty damn well
Y is it year after year I still come back to this video
Agreed. Nothing wrong with watching the band when you go to a concert. Also, for musicians in the audience, it's interesting to see what the band members are playing.
Brock is a genius songwriter
2024 about to be 25 this is gold.
